& J Daylilies in Bridgeport, Alabama, who has been hybridizing since
2000 and has registered over 60 new daylilies with the AHS. Jerry is a
PhD chemist retired from the pharmaceutical business. As a former
president of the Greater St. Louis Iris Society, his interest in
daylilies was spurred when someone brought a daylily to an iris
meeting—he was hooked!! J & J Daylilies contains 5,000 registered
